Frankenstein all the way, you just have to continuously build from whatever part is cheap at the moment.

I moved to qobus. It’s not owned by untied states capital.

In between

It’s not in MP3, it’s Ogg vorbis and I don’t have equipment and time to have an informed opinion about how good Ogg vorbis is at any given bit rate.

They claim usual people can’t tell between what they do and better bit rates. I know I’m picky so I know I’ll notice something.

Remembering t this is Anna’s archive. The goal is preservation of human culture, not pirating.

It’s not MP3, it’s Ogg vorbis

They’re encoding the top songs with higher resolution, the next bunch ( it’s still millions of songs) with about half that bitrate and not planning to save the next tranche which is like a looooot of songs but each has less than 1000 plays over the history of Spotify.

This is what I vaguely remember after reading the whole original post AND after a night drinking.

No nitpicking.

Positive. Over.

Depends on who is talking, could be untied states if it’s Russia talking, could be China if Australia talking, could be Russia if it’s one of the countries invaded recently in the last 10 years.

Just try replacing “empire” with “bully that takes things against the will of its owners” and suddenly you have several options. Sometimes it’s land like Russia, sometimes it’s sea like China and sometimes it’s Venezuelan oil ships like untied states

when discussing when China could catch up to the US in the semiconductor race.

BS. Untied states are not competitive at all for a long time. They should say China is catching up with Taiwan.

And it’s not a race, there’s no finish line, improvements have been happening for 50 years now and can continue for decades.

Every language has words that are almost the same sounds but not quite.

English speakers barely pronounce can and can’t differently. If you’re in a noisy place, or are not familiar with the accent of the speaker or got a flu and your ears are blocked or whatever else, you’ll have an extra bad time telling them apart. That’s normal. Just extra annoying that this particular example involves a particular meaning and the opposite of it, so context is not your friend.

HEY MATE, CAN YOU PLEASE COME TO THE PARTY?

I CA’!±:-

OH COOL

I SAID I CA;(++;:-

OH SO YOU CAN’T? YEAH?

YEAH! THAT’S WHAT I SAID.

WELL YOUR LOSS

I SAID I WILL COME, DUDE

OH SHOOT. OK. SEE YOU THERE.

NVIDIA sells GPUs to Oracle. Oracle sells GPU time to openai.

When time comes to pay the bills, openai doesn’t have the money to pay Oracle who then doesn’t have money to pay NVIDIA. So, Oracle gives stock to NVIDIA, and openai also gives stock to NVIDIA.

NVIDIA doesn’t care if both go broke because now a gpu is worth a lot more, and in the books they’re selling a lot more GPUs each for a lot more money. So NVIDIA stock goes through the roof even if they ran out of cash and got into ridiculous debt.

Shareholders have a ridiculous profit, NVIDIA directors get a massive bonus and NVIDIA CEO gets famous.

Why is it a problem? Because nobody has cash and this can’t go on forever without some massive bankruptcies. I’m sceptical anyone is paying their power bills or servicing bank loans, so these may get dragged into the mud too.

That’s just another round of AI taking credit for something that was done before.

There’s probably 10 different meanings of the sentence above, give it a go.

Now tell me there was 12 monkeys in there

It’s a circular grift all around. They found a way to ensure that either everyone wins or everyone loses, and everyone keeps putting chips on the gambling table and nobody calls anyone’s bluff.

Except NVIDIA who’s the only one providing something that’s not a commodity.

This research sounds legit but it should be called something like " our llms vs deepseek: does deepseek have a bias against English culture?"

Since my culture is neither English nor Chinese, I think this is a d*CK measuring contest.

Everybody born in the land of the free ™ ©️* knows this is no place for a ball park, but instead it’s perfect for a school yard.

Also the true malware is currently signed and it still reaches millions of people, most of the time downloaded straight from store.

First, we don’t have this in Android and we’re better off.

It’s another flavour of gatekeeping.

Second, why do we want to copy apple?

Mate have a look at the SharePoint vulnerability. It’s embarrassingly bad. Like really really bad, and btw so bad that it’s very easy to understand and exploit. And prevent too, if a jr in my team did this I’d get them in trouble.

Politicians also act like children. There’s no evidence they get their authority from being either smarter or more competent than an average person.

The economy doesn’t represent the people, doesn’t feed anyone and doesn’t reflect their well being.

You have my vote.

I read the article and I’m having trouble believing this is not the onion.
